    One of my favorite shows, but the episodes keep getting shorter. I remember all of the tv shows running the same length. I may be wrong.

    Me Likey Stacy voice

    Storytelling with Charm
    Stacy Keach is a wonderful storyteller - one minute it seems like he knows where the story is going and the next he is just as surprized as the rest of us. I know you are a man of a certain age now, Mr. Keach, but as long as you are willing to keep recording these tales, we are happy to listen.

    Like show but what the heck?
    In the show about young Miami bar girls who were tricked to coming to the US and held here with threats of no return plane ticket plus made to sleep with the bar owner, why are they referred to as "apex predators"? Yes, these girls were instructed to scam men, but the show is clear they are victims. Victims and at the same time apex predators? How out of touch can this show/pod get? I normally love it, but this is an epic misjudgment.

  • ceeceejones
    Listening feels good
    I don't care what Stacy Keach says his voice is like a warm blanket crocheted lovingly by a 90 year old grandmother . I could cozy up in a fluffy chair and float off on a cloud listening to how some family was conned out of their life saving.

    Best podcast
    Love the narration and the truth behind every episode makes me aware of con artists and scammers. It’s a crazy world
  • RIP/KURT
    Pretty good podcast
    Best narrator ever , Stacey Keach makes this podcast.
  • Mally_Mal_Mal6789
    A classic
    So glad I found this show. Keep it up!
  • NuclearWintre
    super good but…
    1.)Something seems to be wrong with the server that hosts this podcast. Several times I have tried to listen to an episode only for it to not play or cut off at a random spot when I am deeply engrossed and it doesn’t matter what app I am on. CNBC should have the resources to use a better server that works. 2.) The victims deserve to be named in the description of each episode. Not only reducing the victim to their occupation disrespectful, it makes it impossible to recognize cases of special interest.

    Love it!
    Now I can listen to Stacy on the go! Love this show! So glad it’s on a podcast now!

    Editing is clunky
    Lately the ads are cutting off the actual story. Just mid-word an ad gets slammed in, and it’s been that way for a few weeks now.
  • Tunzs & me
    I do not
    Appreciate hearing chucky adds.
  • Podcast Pounder
    Great but skewed
    Honestly love this show. It’s really crazy what people will do to others just for money. I am getting a little tired of the constant attacks on republicans though. It makes sense coming from CNBC but at any opportunity they bash the right. The most insane thing is that they’ll just mention Trump for no reason. Like some bad guy once watched the apprentice so they’ll try to tie him in with trump. Getting annoying.
  • Aaron Marcizzle
    Narrator sounds like cartoon character
    I thought the narrator voice was a joke at first. Sounds like a cartoon character. It’s distracting.
  • Raddoc2009
    Some episodes cut off prematurely
    Great to be able to listen to these episodes. Nikola episode is one of a few that are cut short and aren’t complete episodes. Otherwise, 5 star.
  • nice people win
    Auction scams
    Can you do one about the online auction scams, the live charity auction scams and the charity consignment trip auction scams. This auctioneer world is an incestuous bunch who all refer each other in a circular world of false reviews. A lot of the consignment trips are scams leaving the poor charity holding the bag with mad donors demanding refunds.

    Another one bites the dust
    Would be great, but the left bias is becoming really off putting-it’s getting weird, not just here, but other podcasts too. I’m neither left, nor right, nor American. Weird, and a bit scary to see most people question nothing. Not worth listening to.
  • Jon1001
    Political
    Well produced, but they seem to have conveniently forgotten that Democrat politicians also commit fraud. No surprise from NBC.

    Interesting stories

    American greed
    This is my favorite! I’m hooked!
  • Susanml
    Narration is so dull
    I can’t get through any episodes because his voice is so uninteresting that I zone out. Topics are not interesting either, at least the way they are presenting them they’re not
  • AJ Adele
    Lol
    Dudes over here heated over the Duncan D. Hunter episode. I thought, as I did the other episodes, it was very interesting.
  • fukkausername85!
    Love the podcast
    I love the podcast but I sincerely hate the short episodes 😤
  • Koliebug
    Heavily biased for the left.
    Facts don’t care about feelings. The unnecessary skewed opinions cater to left leaning viewers. Political corruption exists are both sides. But the blatant hits against anyone who doesn’t vote blue is just too much.
  • Tulipa44
    A decent show
    This show is fine. The narrator is a little over the top drama-wise but the ads are hilarious. Beachbody? you’re a show about scams advertising the sued-for-auto-subscription- without-consent, MLM (cough cough pyramid scheme) Beachbody?!?
  • cyx444
    I love it!
    This has been my favorite show for years! So glad it’s here so I can listen all day. The show is not only interesting but helpful in regards to showing all the types of scams and also helping one to think critically. This show has saved me from so many scams! I also love that the show gives empathy to the victims.

    Total Political Garbage
    Could not listen anymore as all the political jabs are totally useless pertaining to the stories. Lost another long time story enjoyer. Bye Bye
  • Notafedemployee
    Intellectually bankrupt, bias, political activism
    The overwhelming political bias in this podcast is no different than the disgusting political activism in the tv “news”. A free thinking high school student could provide better economic analysis. Socialists may find value in this podcast as it champions collectivism and centralized planning and completely ignores any and all consequences of those policies. Absolute garbage like all legacy media.
  • Grundy smash
    Love the show and podcast
    Im happy to see more episodes are being uploaded per month!!!! Would love go get the older episodes from years ago on here!
  • Jewtoys
    Great podcast but the ads.......
    The Cramer ads, about joining his investors club on a show that’s main content are scams is beyond tone deaf. Looking at that guys “picks” are always laughable at the end of the year.
  • Just a guy.
    Great story telling! Warning… Left wing bias.
    They have quite a few entreating negative stories (and rightfully so) about Trump associates and GOP law makers. But be warned… its very bias’d to the left. No stories about hunter Biden, no stories about corruption from the left. Loved this show when it wasn’t bias’d.
  • lbergren
    Leftist Bull
    Please don’t blame Trump for one politicians “alleged” crimes.

    love the tv show and the podcast
  • Chavrifybjeanfh
    Background music
    The background music takes everything away. I get so concentrated on the music that I don’t really listen to the episodes
  • Chucandiro1
    Epesoides
    Wish u guys could add more epesoides
  • fisher@addis
    Great listen!
    Hope there could be more episodes per month.
  • shansimccloud
    Boring episode
    I love this podcast but the most recent episode about Bernie Madoff was extremely slow and boring. Lots of stammering and monotone conversation.
  • beyondthdistance
    Great podcast with the WORST ads ever.
    Love the content, but you guys need to choose your ads better. Theres an absolutely ear shattering pad thai ad you guys put at high volume next to your lower volume content. Absolutely terrible ad. Do you not have your staff listen to your own podcast?
  • Nullity
    Riveting!
    I’m obsessed with this pod! Wish it would release more than one ep a month though
  • Sandjos
    Wow
    It is hard to believe that people can be so selfish and manipulative to others.
  • CL Mortgage Broker
    Geez ... the stories are great ... but narrator is pedantic
    Jesus Christ ... stop preaching so much ... just tell the story and don’t give us your opinions ... it is so hard to take
  • **RIP OFF!@&$!
    Love this podcast
    I especially love the scams dealing with fake investors like the Fame OC Housewife and the AZ realtor. 👍🏼
